Those boxes are the bane of many modellers. If I can find a similar size top opening box, I use it’s bottom half instead to hold the parts, and simply cut the bottom side off the Revell one, glue the end flaps shut, then use that as a lid.

Have the C/41 version in 1/44. Good scale for this kit for the average home display. Casual modellers content with standoff scale will be happy with it out of the box. It builds reasonably easily and quickly OOTB too. Surmise the SE will too. Modellers with a penchant for higher detail and greater accuracy will want one or more of the PE kits for it. Notwithstanding a couple of nit-picking inaccuracies in the moulding no-one other than the most absurdly pedantic will spot unless reading about them somewhere, the major issue with this model is the scale thickness of the moulded railings and numerous minuscule conning tower items. e.g. gun shields, gun barrels, aerials etc. Some excellent PE kits exist to address this. I used the Griffon N144B003, but as Harry alluded to, PE for this kit is finicky, and the size and volume thereof is the stuff of nightmares for older eyes and fingers.

Hi. The Atlantis bow's few differences were; a bit of extra length, a slightly modified bullnose, and a slight flare to the bow(look down at the very end of the bows with both hulls side by side, and there was no bracketry for net cutters. It is very briefly covered in the anatomy of the ship book on the type 7. The flare was apparently to direct water more to the sides instead of it going up . likely didn't make much difference. I do like your videos. Thanks for putting them out.

@HarryHoudiniModels
2 жыл бұрын
You rarely get any rigging wire on any model kit. The jumping wires on a U-Boot are well documented and can be found in a simple Google search. In the smaller scales something like Ezline will do the job, with a dab of PVA white wood glue to simulate the resistors for antenna wire. In larger scales some cotton thread, waxed to prevent furry ends, will suffice and your resistors can be scratch built from putty or styrene. Mounting points are usually pretty consistent and can be worked out from photos of the particular submarine. uboat.net/forums/read.php?20,59618,59619
